Question
Cryolite, Na AIF, (s), an ore used in the production of aluminum, can be synthesized using aluminum oxide.
Balance the equation for the synthesis of cryolite.
equation: Al,0,(s) + NaOH(1) + HF(g)
Na, AIF, + H,O(g)
If 15.5 kg of AI,0,(s), 52.4 kg of NaOH(1), and 52.4 kg of HF(g) react completely, how many kilograms of cryolite
will be produced?
mass of cryolite produced:
kg Na, AIF,
Which reactants will be in excess?
HF
Al,O,
NaOH
What is the total mass of the excess reactants left over after the reaction is complete?
